There has been a slow return of the sewjo that disappeared earlier this year...

A "birthday present" shirt for a bestest buddy, that was promised over a year ago, was finally sewn. (There had been another birthday between ...and no shirt... it was getting embarrassing.)

The pattern for this shirt is the Negroni by Collette patterns, and it's a winner. This fabric is a charcoal coloured chambray, and the shirt has darkest green buttons (just for fun). The bestie approves.

I have been a bit in love with my new overlocker (serger), which hadn't seen much action since I bought it in June. It has been humming away lately. It's easier to thread and is generally a lot less trouble than my industrial overlocker, and it does a ROLLED HEM with the flick of a switch.... I get a bit excited about that.

A book idea is swimming around and I am thinking of pattern-writing again too. Ideas are beginning to come back. I am not pushing it... just waiting for the mojo to be back in full swing, as it will be.

Lovely blog post Nikki. You seem as though you are really settling into yourself and where you are at. Life keeps on throwing you curve balls but you are catching them and throwing them where they need to go. I could feel serenity and acceptance in your words.
